I often hear there’s a g-l-u-t of quilting books on the market, like that’s a bad thing. The thinking, I imagine, is it’s all been covered. The basics have, yes, however each author brings their own perspective to the process. Lara Buccella, blogger at BuzzinBumble, and author of Crafted Applique: New Possibilities
, shares a new way to approach applique. Crafted.
When you see Charly and Wilbur, wind in their ears on a romp in a red wagon, you are looking at an example of crafted applique. Lara made it as part of a swap with blogger Ruth Bourke. Her creation is inspiring.

Hi Lara. Thanks so much for stopping by Craft Gossip and for the kind words. After this post, I actually purchased your book. It’s within arms reach as I type. I love it. I have all the supplies gathered, ready to go. I’m normally a piecer so cannot wait to try your method of applique.–Warmly, Scarlett
